Taylor Swift's "1989" album brought the singer her second Grammy Award win for album of the year. She won three awards Monday, including best pop vocal album and best music video for "Bad Blood," at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars won two awards for "Uptown Funk," including record of the year. Justin Bieber won his first Grammy on Monday night for best dance recording for "Where Are U Now" with Skrillex and Diplo.
The Grammys also marked first-time wins for Alabama Shakes, the Weeknd, Stapleton, Pitbull and Ed Sheeran, who won song of the year for "Thinking out Loud." The night featured touching tributes: Lady Gaga was in David Bowie-inspired makeup and gear as she ran through 10 of the icon’s hits, including “Space Oddity,” ”Changes,” ”Fame,” ”Let’s Dance” and “Heroes.” B.B. King was remembered with a rousing performance by Chris Stapleton, Gary Clark. Jr and Bonnie Raitt — all on guitar and vocals — with “The Thrill Is Gone.” The Hollywood Vampires, a supergroup of Johnny Deep, Alice Cooper and Joe Perry, performed in their first televised performance and honored Motorhead’s Lemmy Kilmister. Stevie Wonder, joined with Grammy-winning a capella group Pentatonix, sang “That’s the Way of the World” in honor of Earth, Wind & Fire’s Maurice White, while members of the Eagles and Jackson Browne sang “Take It Easy” for Glenn Frey at the Staples Center.

Loopit is the name of a new device designed to help you find your earbuds and keep them untangled. Vanessa Chan, who is a Philadelphia mom with a PhD from MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, created the jewelry that transforms into earbuds. So with a focus on a fashioniable and functional fix, Chan brought the Loopit to life with fashion-forward chainlink earbuds. The retail price for Loopit is $50 but you can pre-order it on a kickstarter page and get a nice discount.

The stomach illness outbreak at Ursinus College was caused by a norovirus. Lab test results came Monday as classes resumed. News was told there was a significant decrease in the number of students at Ursinus reporting symptoms. Norovirus is easily spread from person to person by touching something thats contaminated with the virus, which is invisible. 22 Ursinus students were treated at local hospitals. The virus causes intense symptoms quickly, for a short period of time.
